<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This one is from an acquainteance of mine - from a Foreign Man - I once met in a smoke-filled bar:</p>
<p>Main Disadvantages:</p>
<p>[A] Search and trial costs [it only makes Google happy]</p>
<p>[B] Anonymity: although anonymous nature of the web protects privacy, enables free speech,</p>
<p>generates content etc etc. It also has a collateral damage : as in lack of accountability</p>
<p>[C] Authenticity: lack of authenticity implies high trial costs - worse it may and does often lead to</p>
<p>misinformation etc . No, I am not promoting a big brother or a *central clearing house*. Just that content</p>
<p>and quality is often promoted at the cost of quality</p>
<p>How can we make the web better?</p>
<p>Its a billion dollar question. Me thinks: we can start with:</p>
<p>[1] A better search engine</p>
<p>[2] A mechanism to aggregate related, relevant and refreshed content.</p>
<p>[3] Search Engines may have to give up some revenues ( I know, its wishful thinking) by rethinking the PPC</p>
<p>model. As of date, the engines are geared toward Hop-&#62;Skip--&#62; and Jump model.. More clicks imply more</p>
<p>costs to the consumer, yet, its precisely what keeps their stock prices touch the roof.</p>
<p>Thanks<br />
Your Foreign Contact</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">Can you be transparent in Social Media?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">(Note: Please check out my thoughts on this question at <a href="http://echoinggreenbusiness.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2301358%3AblogPost%3A64">http://echoinggreenbusiness.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2301358%3AblogPost%3A64</a>) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>

<h1 style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#0000ff;font-family:Verdana;">My Response</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">I just wrote an article titled “The Web 2.0 Association: A Dynamic Engagement Between Stakeholders Sharing The Same Interests And Goals (Canadian Public Procurement Council Profile)” – the link to which is in the Web Resources Section of this response.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">Equally telling was the level of reader response (see link below for one reader’s comments), and in particular the emergence of a common theme as illustrated by the following excerpt:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText2" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#333399;font-family:Verdana;">“Associations could better leverage Web 2.0 to deliver a greater level of service to me as a supply chain professional by more actively, rapidly and efficiently aligning with the pace at which new, useful industry information becomes available – then delivering this information in an effective way, so as to keep me abreast of trends, best-practices and exchange ideas with fellow members; thereby making me a more valuable professional.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">With Web 2.0, and certainly with the semantic-centric Web 3.0 and even (although to a much lesser degree) Web 4.0, transparency, or the integrity of information and intent is essential to ensure both the ongoing veracity and viability of Social Networks (or media).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">In his book “Amusing Ourselves to Death,” Neil Postman referenced the fear expressed by Aldous Huxley in his book Brave New World that “truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."<span>  </span>Given the unfathomable sea of information afforded us through the Internet including Social Networks, the absence of transparency would render the media irrelevant.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana;">(Editors Note: Based on my recent interview with IACCM founder Tim Cummins, an upcoming article titled “The IACCM Global Collaborative Platform: Delivering The Power For Change,” will also be of interest.)<span>  </span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google unveiled it’s take on <a title="Web 3.0" href="http://jvdealmasters.com" target="_self">web 3.0</a> .</p>
<p>Introducing the Google Chrome Browser.  Now showing on the desktop near you! There were some hints in the past that Google may be developing a browser, but having seen the heart they have for Mozilla Firefox folks, the idea never took off. Nonetheless as we know it now, Google’s foray in to the Browser War had been under wraps for years.</p>
<p><strong>This is the beginning of a point of high impact for online marketers, and affiliates.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>As We've have always said follow the money... Not The Outcome.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Follow The Trend... Not The Trendsetters.</strong></p>
<p>Millionaires follow trends. Many of them have taken to us quite nicely as the Leaders in This Social Network Million Dollar or should we dare say Billion Dollar Venture. It is <strong>THE</strong> Future.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent the last couple months really digging deep into the candidate side of Web 3.0 job hunting and I have to admit, I'm just not convinced that it's ready for "prime time".  There is some great thinking and some great technology behind the existing players like Jobfox, Climber and Vitruva, but I've asked around, I've played with them and I've read some other blogs --- I just can't seem to find large numbers of individuals who have found success.</p>
<p>Now as much as people bash the "big boards" like Monster and Careerbuilder, I still think they're an effective means of sourcing for internal corporate recruiters and a good way of finding jobs for job seekers.  I work "on the inside" and the majority of our hires come from this method.   I get an endless supply of emails and mailers about technologies that claim to "revolutionize" recruiting and I aim to check them all out because I have an open mind.  My Agency connections tell me all this stuff is junk, but don't kid yourself Agency Recruiters...that's where you're getting your candidates from too.  I know this because I ask all my Agency candidates how they were found.  I'll address that in my next post on Open Market Recruiting.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong here, I'm not giving up on this technology.  In fact, I have high hopes.  The ideal situation would be a MERGER between the big boards and a provider of this 3.0 matching technology because the problem is not that the technology doesn't work, there's just not enough people using it.  The sign-up takes too long and the number of companies putting their jobs on the site is too low.  That's a recipe for candidate and company abandonment.  </p>
<p>So for now, I'll leave this topic and move on to an area of Social Media Recruiting that I've been studying quite intensely for the last 3 months....Open Market Recruiting.  I'll take a look at BountyJobs.Com, Dayak.Com and if anyone else has any suggestions of other companies to review...please let me know.   Thanks!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dopo il <a href="http://owblog.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/google-ci-porta-nel-futuro/" target="_blank">lancio stampa</a> di ieri sera, oggi dovrei fare una recensione di Chrome, esatto? No, non faccio assolutamente nulla di tutto ciò. Vorrei fare il discorso inverso: in rete si trovano migliaia di recensioni e anche una <a href="http://www.giovy.it/2008/09/03/google-chrome-faq/" target="_blank">FAQ</a>, pertanto vorrei da voi lettori che avete scaricato e state usando Chrome da stamane, un commento su cosa ve ne sta sembrando il nuovo browser che ci "traghetterà nel futuro del Web 3.0". Non una recensione vera e propria chiaramente, ma soltanto il vostro parere su cosa ha di meglio - o di peggio naturalmente - rispetto agli altri browser che usate solitamente. Un lavoretto leggero leggero per non ingrassare le vacche</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://association2020.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/stuart-meyer1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-14" src="http://association2020.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/stuart-meyer1.jpg" alt="" width="99" height="153" /></a>Over the past couple of years, the term Web 2.0 has become a household buzz word within our associations and the larger world.  As in the early dot.com days, the promise and potential of Web 2.0 has become the well-hyped social media darling of the online world.  Yet, there continues to be struggle over how to flip the peverbial switch in leveraging and mainstreaming these social technologies for the rest of the world.  At the same time, users of "sit forward" online technology are still somewhat skiddish in terms of pledging online trust and so many still prefer the comfortable confines of anonymity. </p>
<p>On the other side of the aisle, the expectations that the "harvest" of web 2.0 potential will somehow be reaped overnight has led to premature impatience and skepticism.    </p>
<p>Based on learning and observation to present day, my belief is Web 2.0 and the social web, in general, is still in its infancy and is far from reaching full maturity in terms of value and engagement... not just for the association world, but also for the for-profit world as well.  However, in my mind that is the natural evolution of any technology.  </p>
<p>We've been feverishly constructing Web 2.0 and 3.0 worlds, when all along what we've needed to focus on is the Web Me.0 world.  The same basic public relations principle of "so what, who cares, what's in it for me" is highly applicable to the evolutionary change process occurring in the true Web Me.0 world.     </p>
<p>One thing I've learned about change, in general, is there is often considerable lag time between visualization and realization.  Measure it however you want, whether it be radio-to-tv or dial-up-to-dsl... we must accept the fact that even the most ground-breaking innovations take time to find status quo critical mass within the mainstream.  Patience and progression are essential virtues of the day.</p>
<p><a href="http://association2020.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dsc_0002.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-62" src="http://association2020.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/dsc_0002.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Why does it take time?  Well, since we are heading out of summer, I'll use a vacation analogy.  Visualize the last time you sat on a semi-crowded beach in front of the ocean during off-season.  The sun is shining, the waves crashing, yet most people remain on the beach.  For those who venture into the water, they typically take quite a bit of time to slowly adjust to the temperature while at the same time mentally assessing how far they are willing to venture out into greater depths.  However, there is always the courageous few who will see the ocean's allure and sprint full stride toward the water, splashing wildly as the water begins to obstruct motion and diving face forward toward that first set of small crashing waves for the decisive plunge into the cool depths. </p>
<p>Over time, as the months go by and the season change, the heat of summer eventually returns, the water temperatures rise, the beaches become more crowded and eventually most people take to the water... why? because the conditions are ideal, peer pressure is moving the crowd toward the water and, ultimately, the transition is far more comfortable and relaxed.</p>
<p>The translation is we must realize that the summer season for the social web is on the way and we all must begin by testing the waters.  Further, we must be careful to pace rather than drown ourselves in the mad rush out into the water.</p>
<p>More importantly, while we might be able to invent all sorts of clever whiz-bang social web applications, widgets and worlds, we must never forget the mainstream Web Me.0 world whose measure will always be real world relational value based upon the age-old principle of "so what, who cares, what's in it for me".</p>
<p>The good news is I believe a killer set of waves are forming off-shore and setting a course toward our association shore.  <strong>SM</strong></p>

<p>First things first: play the tape. Its ill, I promise. </p>
<p>Okay, mint. </p>
<p>So since finishing work today, and returning home; I have been perpetually blown away by sick online technology... yes I've been online since i got home.. *shame*</p>
<p>Usually, these occasions might occur on a monthly, or bi-monthly basis. Today however, is different. </p>
<p><strong>F</strong>irst I <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">downloaded Google Chrome</a>. Far out. These guys at Google are unbelievable. They've built a new web browser from the ground up. I would try to explain all the ins and outs of it, but if you've got the time <a href="http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/">this comic that was leaked from Google</a> themselves is incredibly cohesive. <img class="alignright" src="http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/images/dlpage_lg.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="359" /></p>
<p>Basically its a clean as, simple and incredibly functional browser. Hell, it even has its own 'task manager' so you can kill troublesome and pesky processes, say a flash plugin that crashes or something. (and im assuming it's google gears that is currently letting me change the CMS windows from wordpress to the size I want.. you good carnts)</p>
<p>So if you have Windows, go and get Chrome now. Just do it. shut up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>S</strong>econd. One of my mates i was talking to online suggested i <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/5579">take a look at Cooliris</a> (formerly known as PicLens). For CoolIris you need Firefox, so don't go deleting it already. </p>
<p>Using CoolIris, you can visually browse images in a very cool way. As you can see in the picture below-left, you can navigate these images as if they were all stuck to a wall</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<dl class="wp-caption alignleft"><img src="http://uxmatters.com/MT/archives/images/Cooliris.png" alt="farr" width="284" height="164" />
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">CoolIris</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>CoolIris seem to have worked pretty damn hard to obtain some pretty big time partners. <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://images.google.com">Google Images</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">DeviantArt</a>, <a href="http://www.smugmug.com">SmugMug</a>, <a href="www.photobucket.com">Photobucket</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a> are all searchable with CoolIris. </p>
<p>It is so damn slick. I entered the URL for <a href="http://FlukePhotography.smugmug.com">my photography site</a>, and instantly all my images were on a 'wall', and I could zoom in for a closer look with incredible ease. Hovering over any image would bring up its metadata in a transparenty cool sortof way, and dragging along the bottom allows you to dip skip past all the images, as quick as you like, or at your leisure. A fast connection would really show this thing off eh. </p>
<p>Amazon particularly takes on a new life. I'm not one to browse on Amazon a lot. Sure I've made the odd purchase, but this just makes it so bloody easy.. Maybe I'm just a more visually stimulated person, but cmon... search for something you'd potentially want to buy on Amazon, and tell me this isn't a mint way to window-shop. Then if you require further convincing, have a search on youtube. Slick. </p>
<p><strong>L</strong>astly. The tape you see at the top of this post (and that you're hopefully still listening to), was very, very easy to set up. I found out about <a href="www.mixwit.com">Mixwit</a> on <a href="http://version3.co.nz/i-done-a-mixwit/">this random blog</a> somehow - cheers random blog pal - and was able to set up the Mixwit tape (that you should be listening to) atop this page. You can provide Mixwit with the URL of an mp3 you have hosted somewhere, or you can use its 2 built in search engines to find the tracks that you want. i was prety stoked to find some Atmosphere, it seriously took about 3-4 minutes from start to finish to make this thing. </p>
<p>What I really wanted to do, and <em>will</em> suss out how to do soon, is to make a tape with <a href="http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=349788">a bunch of my old tracks</a> on it, and put that on here... so stay tuned.. with your finger on the pause button.. ready to make that dope tape. </p>
<p>Best of all, is that all of these things that I have been blown away by, on blown away day..  are <strong>FREE</strong>...   Fantastic.</p>
<p>Duno how far behind the 8-ball I am with all this stuff (well chrome was released today.. so hopefully not too far) but it's impressive nonetheless. </p>
<p>Hah so that's a bit of a rant. You may have enjoyed it, you may not have. Thats the nature of these things. </p>
<p>Have a minter. </p>
<p>Leary.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>wird es bald geben. Und wir haben exklusiv die Liste aller Kandidaten bekommen.</p>
<p>Ganz oben steht <strong>Vincent-Valentin</strong>, bekannt als Kiro27 - der Lycos-Fuchs. Bei den permanent ansteigenden Userzahlen hat man in Gütersloh entschieden, dass volvic Verstärkung braucht. Und uns Vorzeige-Emo ist da natürlich emotional bestens vor<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">belastet</span>bereitet. Wir können also vincent zum Second Assistant to the Community Manager gratulieren und ihm für sein schweres Amt alles erdenklich gute wünschen. Der Aufstieg zur jugendlichen Community ist das o gut wie geritzt...</p>
<p>Auch <strong>Hartmut006</strong>, unermüdlicher Kritiker an der Kritik der Kritiker, steht in der engeren Wahl. Seine Kernkompetenzen liegen vor allem beim Aufspüren von Windrichtungsänderungen - sein eigenes Fähnchen zeigt die Windrichtung schon 10 Minuten vor der Richtungsänderung an. Wer wäre besser geeignet als er, Doppelaccount von M800, um M800 künftig zu überwachen und ihm jede Richtungsänderung in vorauseilendem Gehorsam zu melden.</p>
<p>Bis zu seinem freiwilligen Abgang von Lycos war auch ein Posten für <strong>WilhelmCuno</strong>, den dienenden Diplomaten im Rang eines <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">St</span>Deppenwolfes, im Gespräch. Seine Affinität zu den jüngeren, noch nicht volljährigen Mitgliedern der Community sollte ihm bei seiner Tätigkeit behilflich sein: Einführen und Betreuen der neuen Zielgruppe - U14.</p>
<p>Die Verbundenheit zur Heiligen Mutter Kirche sollte der <strong>Bettelmönch </strong>demonstrieren. Sein Doppelaccount Xena40 hat sich allerdings zu einer längeren Pause entschlossen; von daher ist es nicht sicher, ob man seinen Platz nicht besser freihält. Wäre er nicht so opportun, wäre das eine echte opportunity gewesen. Damischer Bazi, damischer...</p>
<p>Als Deaktivierungsbeauftragter war auch <strong>zynischer_Hiob</strong> im Gespräch... Nomen est omen.</p>
<p>Einen echten Fachmann für Aktenverschleppung und Volksverhetzung hat man aber in <strong>Encore </strong>gefunden. Die bösen PN und E-Mails, die Abmahnungen und juristischen Drohungen werden zukünftig in direkter Zusammenarbeit mit dem Wolf im Schafspelz und der Rechtsabteilung erstellt.</p>
<p>Den vor einiger Zeit eingeschlagenen Kuschelkurs werden <strong>vanquisch </strong>und <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">laktosefrei</span><strong>lakota4</strong> fortsetzen. Rund-Um-Betreuung, auch und gerade bei psychischen Problemen wird hier gewährleistet werden. Beide verfügen über eine mehr als reichhaltigen Erfahrungsschatz.</p>
<p>Ja, liebe Moderatoren - mit dieser <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire" target="_blank">Unterstützung </a>wird Lycos iQ nie wieder so sein, wie vorher.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Nel 1997 David Siegel accoppiò un elemento HTML &lt;table&gt; a un&#8217;immagine GIF spaziatrice ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-198" src="http://conversiamo.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/evoluzione-web-design-css-w.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="230" /></p>
<p>Nel <strong>1997</strong> <strong><a title="table per layout visuale pagine" href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/w3j/s1.people.html">David Siegel</a></strong> accoppiò un elemento HTML <strong>&#60;table&#62;</strong> a un'immagine <strong>GIF spaziatrice</strong> e diede vita al primo modo per dare un <strong>layout visuale alle pagine web</strong>, che permetteva di riprodurre i layout tradizionali della stampa anche su Internet.</p>
<p>Quando i <strong>Web designer</strong> iniziarono ad utilizzare le tabelle in questo modo (<em>e non solo come voleva l'inventore di &#60;table&#62;, Dave Raggett, per presentare dati tabulari</em>) Siegel scrisse "<strong><em>Il Web è rovinato e l'ho rovinato io.... Ho commesso l'orribile errore di mischiare la struttura con la presentazione</em></strong>".</p>
<p>Ok, <strong>lo confesso</strong>, uno di quei Web designer <strong>ero proprio io</strong>!!! ;)<br />
Ho iniziato a sviluppare siti Internet alla fine degli <strong>anni 90</strong>, quando ero ancora un <strong>ragazzino</strong> di 19 anni, e ricordo che i colleghi (<em>eravamo in 2 in un'azienda di 200 persone a sperimentare il web!</em>) guardavano con ammirazione e stupore ogni layout grafico che riuscivo a tradurre in html!</p>
<p>Io non mi vergono a dire che sviluppavo layout con le tabelle, anzi lo scrivo proprio con <strong>orgoglio</strong>, in un'epoca in cui i pochi siti internet esistenti erano tutti con lo sfondo grigio, times new roman come font, link blu, link visitati viola, orribili gif animate come barre divisorie (<em>la più famosa e diffusa era il <strong>cane che corre</strong>!!)</em> i miei layout grafici innovativi e raffinati a tabelle mi avevano fatto guadagnare la stima dei soci di una delle aziende informatiche più grandi d'Italia ;)<br />
Ed essere progressivamente diventato particolarmente bravo a farlo mi ha permesso di diventare libero professionista prima, e successivamente di fondare assieme a Francesco <a title="Web design Bologna css" href="http://www.netsinergy.it" target="_blank"><strong>Net Sinergy</strong></a>, la mia azienda.</p>
<p>Il passaggio ai <strong>CSS</strong> (<em>cascading style sheet</em>) che ho perfezionato personalmente e aziendalmente già da alcuni anni (<em>quando la maggior parte dei browser ha iniziato a fornire un supporto decente</em>) non è stato indolore, per tutti quelli come me abituati a scrivere il codice html (<em>comprensivo della presentazione grafica</em>) <strong>cambiare totalmente modo di pensare e sviluppare</strong> utilizzando i &#60;div&#62;, i livelli, il float e i fogli di stile è stato uno stravolgimento che ha richiesto parecchia pazienza ed esercizio!</p>
<p>Devo dire che però ne è valsa la pena, l'utilizzo combinato di <strong>XHTML e CSS</strong> rende possibile creare layout grafici molto più di impatto e complessi, pagine con codice molto più pulito e snello che occupano meno banda e meno risorse del server, permette di ottimizzare la visualizzazione su device differenti (il pc o un dispositivo mobile per esempio), permette di creare layout per la stampa ecc.ecc., anche se confesso che per i <strong>template grafici delle newsletter,</strong> per essere sicuri che vengano visualizzati correttamente sia dai client di posta che dai vari webmail, li sviluppiamo ancora con le tabelle e gli stili inglobati nel codice html! ;)</p>
<p>Insomma, sicuramente i siti che sviluppiamo oggi sono molto meglio di quelli di 5/10 anni fa, però credo che sia <strong>esagerato da parte di tanti Web designer e sviluppatori rinnegare il passato</strong>. Utilizzare le tabelle per creare layout simili a quelli della carta stampata è stato uno dei <strong>primi mashup del web</strong>, e credo sia stato importantissimo perchè penso che se i siti fossero rimasti tutti uguali e grigi le aziende non avrebbero iniziato ad investire sulla loro presenza in rete!!!<br />
Io penso che sia stato proprio <strong>geniale</strong> e che David Siegel debba esserne orgoglioso (<em>magari lo è e tutte le sue frasi frustate fanno solo parte del personaggio che si è costruito!</em>) e noi tutti <strong>dobbiamo essergliene grati</strong>!</p>
<p>Il futuro del web, il <strong>web 3.0</strong> a detta dei guru sarà il <strong>web semantico</strong>. Questo porterà ad un utilizzo ancora più spinto dell'<strong>HTML</strong> e dell'<strong>XML</strong>, per attribuire ai vari contenuti delle pagine web un significato semantico, e favorire il reperimento di informazioni nel <strong>"rumore"</strong> prodotto dal costante aumento dei contenuti disponibili nelle reti. Personalmente sono molto <strong>affascinato da questo tema</strong> e spero che nel giro di breve tempo vengano definiti degli standard che possano essere adottati da tutti gli sviluppatori.</p>
<p><strong>Internet</strong> è un "<strong>ambiente</strong>" in <strong>continua evoluzione;</strong> il costante aumento di disponibilità di banda permette la gestione di nuovi tipi di contenuti (<em>pensiamo alla recente esplosione dei video!</em>) e di applicazioni sempre più evolute e interattive. Questo fa si che l'utilizzatore (<em>privato o business che sia</em>) sia coinvolto tramite <strong>esperienze sempre più ricche</strong> e che dedichi sempre maggior tempo all'utilizzo della rete, preferendolo progressivamente ad altri media come la televisione!<br />
Gli <strong>addetti ai lavori</strong> come me, devono quindi essere sempre pronti a mettere <strong>completamente in discussione</strong> le loro competenze e professionalità acquisite nel corso degli anni per evolversi assieme alla rete (<em>oppure è meglio cambiare lavoro!</em>) <strong>senza però dimenticare quello che è stato fatto in precedenza</strong> perchè  comunque fa parte della storia di Internet e nel suo piccolo ha contribuito a migliorarlo.</p>

Was genau kann ein Moderator eigentlich? Wie sieht ein Moderator sich ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>oder einfach nur Masochisten?</p>
<p>Was genau kann ein Moderator eigentlich? Wie sieht ein Moderator sich und seine Aufgabe?</p>
<blockquote><p>Nicht deshalb ist Macht dem Menschen gegeben, damit er den Schwachen bedrücke, sondern damit er ihn stütze und ihm helfe.<br />
John Ruskin, (1819 - 1900), englischer Kunstkritiker, Sozialökonom und Sozialreformer</p></blockquote>
<p>Und da sehe ich die Aufgabe der Moderatoren - als Mittler zwischen Administration und User, als Helfer und Lotse im iQ-Dickicht.</p>
<p>Neue User, die das System nicht verstehen? Alte User, die das System nicht verstehen? Pornographie, rechtsradikaler Gedankenmüll? Chat- und Laberfragen? Verstösse gegen geltendes deutsches Recht? User, die ihre ganz persönliche Nabelschau exerzieren? Hier sehe ich die Moderation in der selbstgewählten Pflicht.</p>
<p>Nicht die Sofitwares, Encores, Xenas, Hartmuts und Kiros dieser Welt sind wichtig. (Außer vielleicht für Therapeuten, aber angewandte Psychotherapie gehört nicht zu den Kernkompetenzen der Lycos Europe b.v.). Wichtig ist der Spaß an der Arbeit, das Wissen, dass ihr vielleicht nicht die Welt bewegt - dafür aber eine Plattform vom virtuellen Sondermüll freihaltet und etlichen tausend normalen Usern ein wenig Spaß bereitet.</p>
<p>Insofern, lasst euch die Worte von  Epiktet, einem griechischen Philosophen erst auf der Zunge und dann im Kopf zergehen:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sei dir dessen bewusst, dass dich derjenige nicht verletzen kann, der dich beschimpft oder schlägt; es ist vielmehr deine Meinung, dass diese Leute dich verletzen. Wenn dich also jemand reizt, dann wisse, dass es deine eigene Auffassung ist, die dich gereizt hat. Deshalb versuche vor allem, dich von deinem ersten Eindruck nicht hinreißen zu lassen. Denn wenn du dir Zeit zum Nachdenken nimmst, dann wirst du die Dinge leichter in den Griff bekommen.</p></blockquote>
<p>Um wem Epiktet zu hoch ist, hier ein etwas moderner Philosoph...</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tecnologicamente più all&#8217;avanguardia di Internet Explorer 8, più leggero di Firefox 3, più ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="entry-content">Tecnologicamente più all'avanguardia di Internet Explorer 8, più leggero di Firefox 3, più veloce di Opera, Chrome sarà il browser che traghetterà il navigatore nel futuro. I</span>l browser pensato non più come un semplice software per aprire le pagine web, ma come una vera e propria piattaforma di applicazioni e pagine web: tutto assieme per portare con mano l'utente verso il Web 3.0. Questo è il sogno di Google che oggi si trasforma in realtà. <a href="http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/" target="_blank">Chrome</a>, così si chiama il nuovo lavoro di Mountain View, riadatta il web al personal computer: semplicità, velocità e pulizia per un software assolutamente innovativo e completamente ripensato dalle basi.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Abbiamo detto della semplicità: si apre e si hanno a disposizione sin da subito le applicazioni da ufficio create da Google, gli ormai conosciutissimi e affidabili Documenti, Calendario, Gmail etc.<br />
Veloce: si apre e si chiude in un attimo, apre le pagine web più velocemente di qualunque altro concorrente. Il motore di redering è <span style="font-weight:bold;">WebKit</span> già utilizzato con successo da Safari, <strong>Javascript Virtual Machine V8</strong>, motore Javascript Open Source, più potente e performante, per accelerare le prestazioni e arrivare dove oggi è impossibile. <strong>Google Gears</strong> è incluso come è inclusa una nuova barra di ricerca, chiamata “<strong>omnibox</strong>”, che mixa ricerche su Google, le ultime pagine visitate e le più popolari di quelle non visitate; in apertura di browser, la home page, contiene 19 miniature delle pagine più visitate, la sidebar laterale contiene le schede chiuse di recente e quelle salvate nei segnalibri.<br />
La pulizia fa rima con sicurezza. Ha una gestione delle Tab (le schede) diversa da qualsiasi altro software web. Ogni scheda è autonoma e isolata in modo tale da non compromettere la stabilità del browser in caso di conflitto o crash di sistema. Navigazione privata con "<span style="font-weight:bold;">incognito</span>" per garantire una privacy maggiore durante la navigazione, le Tab rese più potenti e in grado di contrastare più efficacemente i siti "oscuri" e meglio protette contro i malware, phishing in primis.</p>
<p>"Utilizziamo il browser per gran parte del nostro tempo: lo usiamo quando facciamo ricerche, quando chattiamo e inviamo e-mail, quando facciamo acquisti e leggiamo notizie, quando interagiamo con gli amici in rete, poiché trascorriamo così tanto tempo online, abbiamo incominciato a pensare a quale tipo di browser avremmo potuto realizzare partendo da zero. Così ci siamo resi conto che il<strong> web si è evoluto</strong>, e che era necessario <strong>ripensare completamente il concetto</strong> di browser". Queste le parole degli sviluppatori. E per far capire ancora meglio cosa può fare Chrome, hanno chiamato <a href="http://www.scottmccloud.com/" target="_blank">Scott McCloud</a> per disegnare una breve ma intensa guida fumettistica  per <a href="http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/" target="_blank">dimostrare</a> le meraviglie del nuovo browser.</p>
<p>Il manifesto rincorrere Microsoft nel suo stesso campo si nota anche su Chrome. Difatti il fine ultimo di Google è contrastare il monopolio di Internet Explorer sui browser, compromettendo, va detto, anche quel Firefox dei Mozilla Labs che ha proprio Google tra i sostenitori e finanziatori principali. Mettiamoci anche la suite da ufficio online di Mountain View all'interno dello stesso browser, e si capisce immediatamente che Brin &#38; Page stanno combattendo una guerra che non si ferma solo sui browser, ma si allarga al duopolio Windows-Office per i computer. Microsoft adesso non ha nulla di che preoccuparsi, ma tra qualche tempo, quando gli utenti di Chrome saranno milioni e gli sviluppatori avranno creato migliaia di applicazioni per la piattaforma open di Google, allora a Redmond dovranno fare i conti con un nuovo modo di fare web, quello di Google e di Chrome. E in quel momento inizieranno i loro problemi.</p>
<p>Chrome per il momento è solo per Windows, come spiegato dallo stesso Chrome Team nel <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html" target="_blank">blog ufficiale</a> di Google - e scaricabile a <a href="http://www.freechromethemes.com/DownloadGoogleChrome.php" target="_blank">questo indirizzo</a>, appena sarà attivato.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fala galera, como já havia citado aqui sobre <a href="http://douglasriu.wordpress.com/2008/08/26/folksonomy-ou-folksonomia/" target="_blank">Folksonomia</a>, vou postar um texto muito interessante<br />
que o Guilhermo Reis escreveu em seu site e que comentou sobre na Palestra do Planeta Web 2008 no Senac Tatuapé - SP em Julho.</p>
<p> Imagine um site onde os próprios usuários organizam a informação, onde eles criam o sistema de organização e todas as correlações entre os conteúdos. Isso é a folksonomia, uma taxonomia criada pelos próprios usuários para categorizar e recuperar conteúdos utilizando palavras chaves por eles definidas.</p>
<p> <br />
A folksonomia (folksonomy) foi criada, em 2002, pelo arquiteto de informação Thomas Vander Wal para designar taxonomias colaborativas e nasceu da junção das palavras folk (povo, gente) e taxonomia e se tornou um os ingredientes da diversificada sopa da Web 2.0 utilizada em vários sites famosos, como o<a href="http://del.icio.us/" target="_new">Del.icio.us</a>, o <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" target="_new">Flickr</a> e o <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_new">YouTube</a>. <br />
 <br />
A idéia por trás dessa nova forma de organizar as informações do site é bem simples: o usuário atribui palavras chaves, as famosas tags, para os conteúdo do site, as quais são compartilhadas com todos os outros usuários formando o seu sistema de organização. Normalmente não existe uma organização hierárquica entre as tags nem qualquer outro tipo de associação, como sinônimos, termos relacionados e outros.<br />
 <br />
Suas vantagens são várias. A folksonomia tem um baixo custo para categorizar o conteúdo porque não envolve profissionais especializados em categorização de conteúdo (arquitetos de informação, bibliotecários, etc). Ela permite que o usuário organize facilmente o conteúdo porque ele não precisa aprender um vocabulário controlado. Na verdade os usuários criam o vocabulário controlado do site e com isso ela reflete muito bem a linguagem dos usuários.<br />
 <br />
A folksonomia tem também a vantagem de permitir encontrar conteúdos inesperados graças as conexões criadas pelas tags. Ao atribuir a mesma tag a dois conteúdos diferentes os usuários criam uma ssociação entre eles baseada em seus próprios modelos mentais. <br />
 <!--more--><br />
Porém a folksonomia também tem uma boa lista de desvantagens. A primeira é que ela cria um sistema de organização com muitas inconsistências e ambiguidades. Problemas de polissemia (palavras com muitos significados), sinonímia (múltiplas palavras com o mesmo significado), inflexões (variações de gênero, número e grau da palavra) e erros ortográficos são muito comuns na folksonomia. Além disso também é comum a existência de muitas tags imprecisas ou irrelevantes, o chamado meta noise.<br />
 <br />
Analisando, por exemplo, a lista das tags mais populares do Del.icio.us, encontramos problemas de polissemia em palavras como design, education e science, cada uma delas representando uma infinidade de assuntos diferentes. Problemas de sinonímia temos em palavras como photo - photography, fun - humor, e problemas de inflexões temos em palavras como game – games e fun - funny.<br />
 <br />
Para minimizar esses problemas a alternativa é controlar o nível de liberdade do usuário ao abribuir tags. Essa é a chamada folksonomia controlada, que pode ser implementada de várias formas: apresentar ao usuário instruções para escolha das tags, sugerir tags semelhantes já utilizadas por outros usuários, apresentar sinônimos, aplicar corretores ortográficos, indicar o assunto ao qual a tag se refere, e sugerir ao usuário que classifique a informação em tags pré-definidas. Um bom exemplo de folksonomia controlada é o site Buzzilions (<a href="http://www.buzzilions.com/" target="_new">www.buzzilions.com</a>), no qual boa parte dessas soluções são aplicadas.<br />
 <br />
Mas um grande problema da folksonomia que normalmente passa desapercebido é o seu individualismo. Quando o usuário atribui uma tag a um conteúdo geralmente ele está pensando apenas em si próprio ou no grupo de pessoas próximo a eles (amigos, parentes, colegas de trabalho, etc.). Por isso são comuns tags que apenas o próprio usuário e o grupo de pessoas com que se relaciona conseguem entender. Prova disso é que “to read” (para ler) é uma das tags mais utilizadas no Del.icio.us e “me” (eu) é uma das tags mais utilizadas no Flickr. Elas representam respectivamente, uma página que o usuário marcou para ler depois e uma foto na qual o usuário aparece. Nesses casos não existe por parte do usuário uma preocupação de que outras pessoas entendam suas tags, dificultando o carater comunitário do site.<br />
 <br />
A resolução do problema do individualismo depende de uma definição estratégica do objetivo e do posicionamento do site e não apenas de recursos da interface. O Del.icio.us e o Flickr se posicionam como ferramentas de uso pessoal, onde eu guardo os meus bookmarks e as minhas fotos. Nenhum desses sites se propõe a ser uma criação coletiva na qual os conteúdos são classificados pensando em quem vai acessá-los, como é o caso da wikipédia.<br />
 <br />
Por tudo isso o papel do arquiteto de informação é importante nos projetos de sites que utilizam a folksonomia. É esse profissional quem irá desenhar uma interface, um modelo de interação para o site que traduza as regras da folksonomia e o grau de individualismo definidos no seu posicionamento estretégico. É ele quem define, e ajusta no decorrer do tempo, as soluções que serão implementadas para minimizar os problemas de polissemia, sinonímia, inflexões, meta noise e individualismo obtendo o máximo de vantagens dessa classificação comunitária.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eine Schockwelle rauscht durch die diversen Blogs rund um Lycos iQ. Wie üblich verdrängt eine simple Deaktivierung solche Nachrichten wie "Gustav besucht New Orleans" oder eine "Wilde Schiesserei in Düsseldorf".</p>
<p>Worum gehts denn wirklich? Xena40 wurde deaktiviert. Und hier beginnen die Gerüchte:<br />
1. Sie hat versucht, ein Backup der deutschen Wikipedia auf Lycosservern zu erstellen (nur vergessen, Lycos vorher zu fragen)<br />
2. Xena40 hat sich gegenüber dem Support geoutet und bewiesen, dass sie der weibliche Doppelaccount von Sofitware ist<br />
3. Eigentlich war Xena40 der seit Monaten gesuchte Account von Christoph Mohn. Und xena40 hatte die Schnauze voll von Versager13-PN zugemüllt zu werden.</p>
<p>Uns persönlich gefällt Variante 2</p>

<p>X40 hilft vv und h6 beim Verfassen annähernd korrekt geschriebener Texte</p>
<p>WC (aka diplomatisch dienender Deppenwolf Didi) ist Gastautor bei SW (der ihn eigentlich hasst und sich von ihm so verarscht fühlte, dass er dessen ewige Verbannung forderte) - und damit auch niemand ihn zensieren kann, macht er seinen nächsten Blog auf.</p>
<p>SW und seine beiden Hilfsdeppen (Versager13 und das Seewolferl) versprechen erst groß und vor allem laut, nie wieder RSS-Feeds anzubieten, stellten aber dann fest, dass niemand sie mehr liest - opportun, wie man dort nunmal ist, vergaß man das Versprechen schneller als es gegeben war</p>

<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s quite clear that I aim to be a regular contributor to the RPG Blog Carnival, which was fi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">It's quite clear that I aim to be a regular contributor to the RPG Blog Carnival, which was first hosted by the <a href="http://thecoremechanic.blogspot.com/2008/08/attention-rpg-carnival-1-resurrection.html" target="_blank">Core Mechanic</a> and is now being hosted by <a href="http://thefineartofthetpk.blogspot.com/2008/08/rpg-carnival-this-is-homebrew.html" target="_blank">Donny the DM</a>. I really would have liked to have hosted the first round of the carnival (and thus have thought up the idea)... or the second, or even the third. However, I do not want to host the fourth though and here's why:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While the number of contributors remains small and incestuous (i.e. generating traffic  and comments primarily amongst ourselves), managing the submissions and providing an end-of-carnival summary does not take that much time/effort/money. However, as the carnival grows and more articles are submitted and outside traffic grows, so too do the costs of hosting the carnival grow.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-semantic-web" target="_blank">Berners-Lee, Hendler and Lasilla</a> (2001) described it as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">"Human endeavor is caught in an eternal tension between the effectiveness of small groups acting independently and the need to mesh with the wider community. A small group can innovate rapidly and efficiently, but this produces a subculture whose concepts are not understood by others. Coordinating actions across a large group, however, is painfully slow and takes an enormous amount of communication. The world works across the spectrum between these extremes, with a tendency to start small from the personal idea and move toward a wider understanding over time."</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="www.shirky.com/ " target="_blank">Clay Shirky</a> wrote about this very concept in his new book, Here Comes Everybody. I don't have my copy with me right now, so I'll post the relevant reference in the comments later on.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So how do we grow our carnival without it dieing off because of the ever expanding costs of maintaining it? Ideally, we wouldn't want to pay somebody an actual salary to keep things working for us. So, I propose a technological solution which allows the group to administer itself without the requirements of a strict heirarchy or strong central control power. The benefits of working in a group are numerous, including the generation of a shared sense of ownership amongst all of us (contributors and readers).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am a big fan of wikis (plus there are numerous free ones available) and would suggest the creation of one. Of course, this isn't the only possible solution, and I'd really like to hear from the other contributors (and any outside traffic that happens to stumble along) about creating something more sustainable and thus beneficial for us all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_1051" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Twine buttons can be personalized by uploading images from your hard drive"]<a href="http://cyberloom.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/twine-buttons-21.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-1051" src="http://cyberloom.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/twine-buttons-21.jpg?w=500" alt="Twine buttons can be personalized by uploading images from your hard drive" width="500" height="416" /></a>[/caption]
<p>del.icio.us used to be my favourite place for stashing away bookmarks. It worked well for a long time, it was great to just click on the del.icio.us tab when I found a useful web page and store it away for later. The problem in the end was that I stored so many links it ceased to be useful. I tried altering my tags to create a more streamlined system but found myself stunned by the tedium of reorganization.</p>
<p>Then I read an article in Wired magazine (May, 2008) by Clive Thompson titled 'Information Overlord' addressing the problem of internet induced information overload. Thompson mentioned a web application called <a title="Twine.com" href="http://www.twine.com/" target="_blank">Twine</a> that he had just discovered, and cautiously recommended, so I decided to investigate it for myself. At that time Twine was not publicly available but they invited people to write and ask for an account. I duly typed a polite request and they let me join in. (Nowadays you can simply send in your email address, and they will send an invitation with a little warning that the application is still in beta mode.)</p>
<p>Twine makes some grandiose claims about being <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0" target="_blank">Web 3.0</a> and there are some intense discussions addressing this claim percolating on the web (<a title="Read Write Web" href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twine_disappoints.php" target="_blank">Twine Disappoints After Semantic Web Hype</a> and <a title="Think Artificial" href="http://www.thinkartificial.org/web/twine-introduction/" target="_blank">Why I Migrated Over to Twine</a>.) I have no clue whether it really is Web 3.0 or not, and I am not sure I even care as all I want is a decent bookmarking system. (I know I am revealing a touch of the <em>I want the elevator to work but I don't want to know about the little cable that holds it up syndrome</em>.) After all, all I want is to be able to find the things I have stored away.</p>
[caption id="attachment_1036" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Public Twines"]<a href="http://cyberloom.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/public-twines.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-1036" src="http://cyberloom.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/public-twines.jpg?w=500" alt="Public Twine" width="500" height="223" /></a>[/caption]
<p>You can set up as many Twines as you like, tag information and write notes about each bookmark if you feel like it. There is a choice about making your Twine public or keeping it private, and you can join other people's  public Twines sharing bookmarks across several twines. I like Twine's user interface and I especially like being able to select images for each Twine header, in addition each bookmarked page is saved with a thumbnail picture. The application does much more than I have described here; one of its coolest features (for me anyway) is that it sends me an email that reminds me about my own recently saved bookmarks. Emails also arrive supplying me with notifications of posts by other people on the public Twines. Seems a useful application to me so far, I encourage others to see for themselves and have a twiddle with Twine!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Estámos cada vez mais próximos da web 3.0, e ferramentas sensacionais como esta que mostro baixo, são apenas uma pequena amostra do poder que teremos em mãos.  O <a href="http://labs.mozilla.com/">Mozilla Labs</a> apresentou nesta semana o Ubiquity, um projeto ainda experimental com o objetivo de tornar a web compatível com a nossa linguagem, a nossa maneira de pensar.</p>
<p>Trata-se de uma extensão para o Firefox que facilitará, e muito, a vida dos usuários na hora de achar um mapa, enviar um tweet, fazer uma busca, traduzir uma página e centenas de outras funções que serão adicionadas, já que o código é aberto.</p>
<p>Melhor do que eu tentar explicar o que isso significa, assistam ao vídeo:</p>

<p><!-- .entry-meta -->ps: Se você não quer esperar pelo release para experimentar (como eu... :) , pode ler a matéria completa, saber quem são os criadores do projeto, acessar os tutoriais e fazer o download do primeiro protótipo <a href="http://macmagazine.com.br/blog/2008/08/28/mozilla-lanca-ubiquity-linguagem-comandando-a-web/">aqui.</a></p>
